Bowdoin College was incorporated by the General Court of
Massachusetts, upon the joint petition of the Association of Ministers
and the Court of Sessions of Cumberland County. The act of incor-
poration was signed by Governor Samuel Adams, June 24, 1794.
The College was named in honor of James Bowdoin, a graduate
of Harvard in 1745, a delegate to the first Congress in Philadelphia,
the President of the Convention which adopted the Constitution of
Massachusetts, and subsequently Governor of the State. In addition
to his civil honors he was a member of various foreign societies, the
first President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and
a valued friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin.
The earliest patron of the College was the Hon. James Bowdoin,
son of the Governor. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1771,
and subsequently studied at the University of Oxford. In President
Jefferson's administration he was appointed successively Minister
Plenipotentiary to the Court of Spain and Associate Minister to the
Court of France. During his residence abroad he accumulated a
valuable library, a collection of paintings and drawings by old and
modern masters, a cabinet of minerals and fossils, together with
models of crystallography, all of which he bequeathed to the College.
During his life-time he gave land, money, and apparatus to the College,
and at his death it became, by will, his residuary legatee.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS.
Students who have not completed their preparatory course, but
who pass a satisfactory examination in Cassar including Latin
Grammar, Cicero or Virgil, Xenophon including Greek Grammar,
Arithmetic and Algebra, may receive a certificate excusing them
from examination in these subjects the following year. Such
certificates will not be given for less than four subjects.
Candidates for admission to the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
classes are examined in the studies already pursued by the class
which they wish to enter, equivalents being accepted for the books
and authors studied by the class, as in the examination on the
preparatory course. No one is admitted to the Senior Class after
the beginning of the second term.
The regular examinations for admission to college are held in
© ©
Massachusetts Hall, in Brunswick, on Friday and Saturday, June
26 and 27, 1896, and on Monday and Tuesday, September 14 and
15, 1896. At the examination in June, attendance is required at
8.30 a.m. on Friday. At the examination in September, attend-
ance is required at 2.30 p.m. on Monday. The examination is
chiefly in writing.
Examinations are also held at Thornton Academy, Saco, at
Washington Academy, East Machias, and at Fryeburg Academy,
these schools having been made special Fitting Schools for the
College by the action of their several Boards of Trustees, in con-
currence with the Boards of Trustees and Overseers of the College.
In view of the expense and inconvenience often accompanying
the attendance of candidates in Brunswick during Commencement
week, the Faculty will furnish the principal of any academy or
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 27
high school, having a regular course preparatory for college of at
least three years' duration, with printed examination papers for
the use of such pupils as he believes prepared to enter college,
provided they desire to join the next Freshman Class.
No papers will be sent out on the requirements in German,
French, Advanced Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Candi-
dates presenting these subjects must take their examination in them
at the college at one of the times appointed.
The examinations are to be conducted by the principal on June
12 and 13, 1896, and the results at once, sealed and sent by mail
to the President. A report of the examination will be made to the
principal and also to the candidates by Commencement Day.
Testimonials of good moral character must in all cases be
received before tickets of admission are granted. A testimonial
is preferred from the teacher under whom the preparatory course
was completed. A student from another college, before he can be
examined, must present a certificate of regular dismission.
A bond for two hundred dollars, with satisfactory sureties,
must be filed with the Treasurer by every student on his admission
to college, as security for the payment of his Term Bills and any
other charges that may arise under the College Laws. A blank
form for this purpose will be given with the ticket of admission.
SPECIAL STUDENTS.
Persons who give evidence of maturity, earnestness of purpose,
and adequate preparation will be allowed to pursue special studies
in connection with the regular classes, without becoming matricu-
lated members of the College.
THE COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study is adapted solely and strictly to students
desiring a liberal education. The required work occupies the
whole of the Freshman year and one-third of the Sophomore year.
The work of the remaining two-thirds of the Sophomore year and
of the whole of the Junior and Senior years is elective.
In solidity of subjects presented, in concentration of attention
demanded, in individuality of work encouraged, and in extent of
choice permitted, the aim of the college is to combine thorough
discipline of mind with vital interest in the subjects studied. The
Searles Science Building makes it possible, so far as accommoda-
tions are concerned, to give an ideal course in science, and places
the college in a position to test the value of natural science for
training. The scrappy and hap-hazard study of isolated subjects
by single terms, chiefly for the information to be gathered there-
from, has been superseded by a curriculum in which every depart-
ment offers a general course, consecutive throughout the year ; and
this general course in every department except Philosophy, which
is not introduced until the Senior year, is followed by one or more
courses, also consecutive throughout a year, in which the subject
may be taken up more in detail by those who wish to pursue it
beyond the rudiments. Thus thorough and consecutive training
in the method of study is secured in all departments ; and the old
antithesis between subjects pursued for training and subjects pur-
sued for information is removed. The elective studies are so
grouped that, while a reasonable degree of concentration is encour-
aged, excessive and premature specialization is prevented.
PHILOSOPHY.
The course in Philosophy includes Psychology, History of
Philosophy, and Ethics. Psychology is taught with constant refer-
ence to its practical bearings, the aim being to apply the laws of
BOWDOLN COLLEGE 29
the mind to the formation of correct habits of reading and thinking,
rational methods of teaching, an effective style of writing and
speaking, and a healthy and vigorous intellectual life.
It is the aim of the study of the History of Philosophy to
familiarize the student with the spirit and method of speculative
thought, and to stimulate inquiry and reflection on the grounds of
rational certitude and religious faith.
The course in Ethics includes a review of modern ethical
systems, from Hobbes and Kant to Spencer and Green, and con-
cludes with a presentation of the more prominent particular duties
which are essential to man's realization of himself as a social and
spiritual being.
HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
A systematic course in the History of England is given through-
out the Sophomore year, followed in the Junior year by a similar
course in the History of the United States. The second and third
terms in either course can be taken by those only who have taken
the preceding term or terms. In each course the chief stress is
laid upon constitutional development. Careful study of historical
geography, examination of important historical documents, and
liberal reading in connection with lectures and text-books, are
expected.
A descriptive course dealing with American Political Institu-
tions, local, state, and national, is given in the second term of the
Senior year. A text-book is used, but the instruction is chiefly in
the form of lectures, supplemented by collateral readings and special
investigations. In the third term of the Senior year there is
oifered a systematic course in the principles of American Consti-
tutional Law.
POLITICAL ECONOMY AND SOCIOLOGY.
The courses in Political Economy begin with the Junior year.
The first term is devoted to a careful study of the elements of the
science, chiefly by means of a text-book. The second term is
occupied entirely with the consideration of the principles and history
of Money and the Credit System, particular attention being paid
to the policy of the United States in the matter of Silver and Paper
30 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
Money. In the third term the History of the United States Tariff
is studied as a basis for a wider study of economic history since
1789. The first term of the Senior year is devoted to a study of
socialistic criticisms of the present industrial order, and the various
methods of Social Reform.
Courses in the Problems of Monopoly and Railroads, and in
Taxation, are offered as substitutes for the last two courses
mentioned.
Sociology is taken up in the last two terms of the Senior year.
The course aims to give a true conception of Sociology as a sci-
ence, and to trace the action of the main laws of social evolution.
Special attention, however, is given to the economic factors of
development.
RHETORIC, ORATORY, AND ENGLISH LITERATURE.
In the department of Rhetoric, Oratory, and English Litera-
ture it is the aim of the College to give, so far as it can be done in
the time allowed to these studies, familiarity with the principles of
Rhetoric and Logic ; facility in the application of these principles
in the actual work of composition ; a natural and effective method
of elocution and oratory ; and an acquaintance with the history of
English literature and criticism, together with a more minute and
critical knowledge of some of its masterpieces.
Practical exercises in Composition, Elocution, and Declama-
tion, in the Freshman year, are followed in the Sophomore year
by careful text-book study of the principles of Rhetoric, and of
Logic both deductive and inductive, and in the Sophomore and
Junior years by the writing of themes on assigned subjects, which
are criticised and corrected by the instructor in charge.
In English Literature elective courses are offered through the
whole of the Junior and Senior years. In the Junior year there
are three courses in the literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries ; in the Senior year three courses covering the history
and development of the literature from the earliest times to the
eighteenth century. The instruction is given partly by lectures,
partly by text-book work, and partly by study in the class-room
of selected and complete works of the principal authors in each of
the periods studied. So far as possible the student is brought into
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 31
direct contact with the literature while studying its history and
philosophy.
GREEK.
The study of Greek is required of all candidates for the degree
of A.B. Those who have taken the preparatory course in Greek
continue the study through Freshman year, while for candidates
for the degree of A.B. who enter without Greek an elementary
course in that language is offered, and the study must be pursued
for at least two years. Greek is offered as a four-hour elective
course through Sophomore year and the second and third terms of
the last two years.
For the first half of the fall term the Freshmen read easy prose
(this year Andocides de mysteriis) and have weekly practice in
oral and written composition. The remainder of the first term
and the whole of the second are devoted to Homer, in the hope that
each student may gain a good degree of familiarity with one great
author. At the beginning the chief object is to acquire facility in
reading and appreciation of the peculiar charm of the Greek epics.
Toward the close of the work the various Homeric problems,
archaeological and literary, are studied and discussed. In the
spring the class read the Gospel of Mark.
The Sophomore year is given in alternation to the study of the
drama, and the historians and orators. For the orators Plato is
sometimes substituted.
In the work with the Junior and Senior classes the authors
chiefly used are JEschylus, Aristophanes, Plato, and Lucian. The
best books on each subject are reserved in the library so as to be
accessible at all times, and topics for special investigation and
writing; are assigned in all branches of the work.
LATIN.
The aim of the Latin course is twofold : on the one hand to
give such a general acquaintance with the language, literature, and
civilization of the Romans as should form a part of a liberal educa-
tion ; on the other, to provide for the needs of those in the Junior
and Senior years especially, who wish to prepare themselves
for teaching the classics or for advanced classical work after
graduation.
32 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
The method of instruction is progressive. In Freshman year
the student begins, necessarily, with a rapid review of forms and
syntax, and as a help in this direction takes up Latin composition
in a practical way. Careful pronunciation, according to the Roman
method, and intelligent expression in reading the Latin text, are
especially sought after, in order thus to make the Latin words,
without translation, as familiar as may be to the tongue and ear,
as well as to the eye. Progress in this regard is furthered and
tested by frequent reading and translation of easy prose at sight.
Thus, through an improved command of the language, having
acquired a firmer grasp upon the thought and style of the various
authors, the student soon concentrates his attention upon these
matters, which involve a study of the literary, social, and political
history of the respective periods. In aid of such study, familiar
lectures are given from time to time, and particular books in the
college library are assigned or recommended.
In the later years of the course, besides the regular work with
the instructor, comparatively large portions of the authors taken
up are assigned for private reading, and topics in philology or
literature are given to individuals to investigate, the results to be
presented in monographs. Written work in Latin is also required.
A term-course for teachers is intended for those expecting to
teach in preparatory schools. The aims and methods of elementary
classical instruction are discussed and practically illustrated in
connection with a study of the preparatory authors from a teacher's
point of view.
MODERN LANGUAGES.
The study of French is required of the Freshman Class through-
out the year. In the first term the elements of the language are
studied on the lines marked out in Whitney's French Grammar,
Part I. From the first, special importance is attached to training
the ear to catch the sounds of the natural word-groups, and to
appreciate, to some extent, the sentence-accent or rhythm of the
language. In the second and third terms grammatical study is
continued in the practice of making simple French sentences.
Copious extracts from the best modern prose are read as a means
of extending the student's vocabulary, as well as by way of intro-
duction to the prevailing models of good style. The advanced
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 33
study of the leading authors of the seventeenth century is open to
the members of the Sophomore Class as elective work throughout
the year.
The study of German is required of the Sophomore Class
throughout the year. Similar stress, as in the instruction in
French, is laid on the education of the hearing to appreciate the
living speech. Making simple German sentences is continued as
an exercise throughout the year. In the second and third terms
short modern prose works, by the best writers, are read. An
elective course in the study of modern classical authors, of four
hours a week throughout the year, is open to members of the
Junior and Senior Classes.
BIBLE STUDY.
The study of the Bible is regularly pursued during one term
of Freshman year in connection with the instruction in Greek.
One of the first three Gospels is used as a text-book, and lectures
are given on the history of the period, the transmission of the
New Testament text, and the interpretation of the Gospels. The
aim of the course is to secure as far as possible the historic back-
ground for a clear understanding of the life of Christ. One-half
of the work is done in the library, on subjects assigned by the
instructor ; and the results of this library study are embodied in
two essays, one of which is read before the class for discussion and
criticism.
MATHEMATICS.
The study of mathematics is required throughout Freshman
year. The course begins with a brief review of the elements of
algebra, particularly quadratics ; followed by a study of proportion,
series and limits, undetermined coefficients, binomial theorem, and
higher equations, this portion of the course being varied as the
interest of each class may require. The work of the term is com-
pleted by the study of logarithms with applications drawn from
plane geometry. The two following terms are given to solid
geometry and plane and spherical trigonometry. To those desiring
to do additional work a brief course in some selected subject is
offered the first term, one in practical mensuration or advanced
algebra, in the second, with field work in surveying during the
spring months.
34 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
The course in Sophomore year includes analytic geometry,
differential calculus with applications and problems in curve tracing,
and integral calculus with special reference to the subsequent work
of the student.
Two courses, open to Juniors and Seniors, are given in alter-
nate years. That for the current year is on advanced calculus
and quaternions. In 1896—7 modern methods of pure and analytic
geometry will be studied. This elective work may be accommo-
dated to the special needs or inclination of advanced students in
case the usual course is not desired.
CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY.
Work in this department begins with the Junior year and con-
tinues through the remainder of the course. In each branch an
attempt is made not only to give the student a general knowledge
of the science, but also to enable him to. do such special work as
will conduce to his success as a teacher, physician, or a practical
chemist. A large part of the instruction is by laboratory work,
and generous appropriations have resulted in the collection of
apparatus and materials for this purpose in large amount. A short
course of lectures upon the general principles of chemistry is followed
by experimental work, by which these are proved and illustrated,
and the elements of qualitative analysis learned. A course of
lectures upon descriptive chemistry, in which organic chemistry is
touched upon, concludes the course of Junior year. In the work
of Senior year, qualitative analysis is continued and quantitative
analysis taken up and dwelt upon till its principles are mastered.
Each student is then allowed to do special chemical work as he
may wish and the time of the instructor may allow.
In mineralogy the same plan is pursued. The course aims to
give a general view of the science, and then to make this knowl-
edge more specific by chemical and microscopic examination of
minerals in the laboratory and by a course of lectures upon practical
mining and the reduction of useful minerals and ores.
PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.
Elementary Physics is elective during the first and second terms
of Sophomore year. The course consists of information lectures
and laboratory practice. The advanced course is elective for such
BOAVDOIN COLLEGE 35
Juniors as have taken the elementary course and have shown some
mathematical ability. The Junior laboratory is supplied with
first-class instruments of precision for exact quantitative work.
Astronomy is elective for the Sophomores during the summer
term. Young's Elements of Astronomy is used as a text-book,
and the subject is illustrated with lantern slides. Advanced Astron-
omy is elective as a continuation of the Junior course in Physics.
It consists mainly of practical work at the observatory in the
making and reducing of observations. The observatory is supplied
with fine instruments and a large astronomical library.
BIOLOGY AND GEOLOGY.
The work in biology is naturally divisible into three parts, the
first of which, occupying the third term of the Sophomore year, is
largely devoted to the study of plants. It begins with an exami-
nation of both animal and vegetable cells, in order that something
may be learned of the properties of living matter and of the prin-
ciples of general biology. The structure and functions of plants
are then taken up in greater detail.
The second part runs through the Junior year. Vital phe-
nomena are then more extensively studied, and much time is spent
in the investigation, both anatomically and histologically, of a few
types of animals like the frog, lobster, clam, earthworm, starfish,
hydroid, and sponge. With these as a basis the student is pre-
pared to undertake the study of animals in respect to their general
structure, development, and systematic relations. During the
third term of this year particular attention is paid to the anatomy
and physiology of mammals, with special reference to the human
body.
The third part of the work extends through the Senior year,
and is especially adapted to the needs of those who are intending
to pursue the profession of medicine or are preparing themselves
for the teaching of science in high schools and academies. It
includes work in practical physiology and normal histology. Occa-
sionally a short time is devoted to pathological histology. In all
of the above courses abundant facilities are provided for laboratory
work, and this is required to such an extent as is deemed profitable
to the student.
36 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
In geology the elements of the science are taken up in syste-
matic order and as much illustration as is possible is given to each
topic. Some attention is paid to local geology and the proper
methods of geological observation. Studies of rocks and fossils,
particularly those that can be collected by the students, occupy a
portion of the time.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
A brief course of lectures on human anatomy and physiology,
illustrated by means of the extensive collections and models of the
Medical School, and followed by a similar course on personal
hygiene, is given each class upon entering college.
The director of the Gymnasium gives each student a thorough
medical and physical examination at the beginning of the college
year. From the measurements and strength tests taken a chart
is made out for each student, showing his size, strength, and
symmetry in comparison with the normal standard, and also what
parts of the body are defective either in strength or development.
At the same time the student receives a hand-book containing
the exercises prescribed for the purpose of correcting the physical
defects shown by his chart, with specific directions in regard to
diet and bathing.
From November until April each class is required to exercise
in the Sargent Gymnasium, under the supervision of the Director,
for a half hour on four days of every week. A graded course of
class exercise has been arranged. The Freshmen have military
drill and Indian-club swinging ; the Sophomores, wrestling and
dumb-bell exercises ; the Juniors, boxing and fencing with single
sticks and broadswords ; the Seniors, fencing with foils. For the
exercises with the chest weights, bars, rings, etc., each class is
divided into three divisions, and the work is carefully graded to
suit the strength of each division.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLEGE.
GOVERNMENT.
In all matters pertaining to the good order of the college, and
the relations of the students to one another, the students govern
themselves through a Jury.
The Jury consists of undergraduate students in good and reg-
ular standing, and is chosen as follows : Each of the four classes
elects one member, each chartered chapter of an intercollegiate
Fraternity of three or more years' standing in the College elects
one member, and all who do not belong to any such Fraternity
elect one member.
The President, however, is at all times at liberty to inquire
into the conduct or character of any student, or the circumstances
or causes of any disturbance. He may do this with a view of
giving private admonition, advice, or warning to students or their
friends, in which case his private action, if efficacious and acqui-
esced in by all concerned, may be final ; but it is expressly under-
stood that such private action of the President shall not have the
weight of college censure.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.
The students are required to attend devotional exercises, con-
sisting of the reading of Scripture, singing, and prayer, held in
the College Chapel every week-day morning, and a brief service,
including an address by the President, on Sunday afternoon.
Every student is also required to attend the exercises of public
worship on the Sabbath, at one of the churches in Brunswick.
Prayer-meetings, under the direction of the Young Men's
Christian Association, a religious organization of the students, are
held on Thursday evenings, and other meetings on Sunday, to
which all members of the College are cordially invited.
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The Academic Year is divided into three terms, a fall term of
fourteen weeks, a winter term of thirteen weeks, and a spring term
4:2 BOWDOLN COLLEGE
of ten weeks. The holiday vacation of two weeks follows the first
term, a spring recess of a week follows the second term, and the
summer vacation of eleven weeks follows Commencement week.
Each term begins on a Tuesday morning and ends on a Friday
afternoon. Commencement Day is the fourth Thursday of June.
ABSENCE FROM COLLEGE.
It is of the utmost importance that students be present at
College every day of term time, and only an absolute necessity
should warrant absence. When pecuniary necessity makes it
unavoidable, students may, upon seasonable petition and by vote
of the Faculty, have leave of absence during a portion of term
time, when actually engaged in teaching or in literary or scientific
pursuits.
DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS.
The degree of Master of Arts is conferred upon those gradu-
ates of the College who, after taking the Bachelor's degree, shall
complete an approved course of advanced study equivalent to one
year's post-graduate work, and shall pass with credit a written
and oral examination on the same. Application for the degree
must be made to the Faculty not later than the first of April in
the year in which the candidate presents himself for examination.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURES.
To meet the wants of those who desire direction in home
study, the College is prepared to give in neighboring cities courses
of six lectures each, on the University Extension plan, on the
following subjects : Homer, by Professor Frank E. Woodruff;
Roman Literature, by Professor William A. Houghton ; Biology,
by Professor Leslie A. Lee ; Chemistry, by Professor Franklin C.
Robinson ; American National Government, by Professor William
MacDonald.
CLEAVELAND CABINET.
The upper portion of Massachusetts Hall, converted into a
Cabinet of Natural History, through the liberality of the Hon.
Peleg Whitman Chandler of Boston (Class of 1834), and named
the Cleaveland Cabinet, in memory of the late Professor Parker
Cleaveland, contains the various collections illustrating Natural
History which belong to the College.
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 43
These collections, to some of which accessions are constantly
made, are the following :
The Museum of the First Geological Survey of Maine.
The Cleaveland and Haiiy Collections of Minerals.
The Mineralogical and Geological Collections of the late Mrs.
Frederick Allen of Gardiner, Me.
The Shattuck Conch ological Collection.
The Storer Conchological Collection.

MARY FRANCES SEARLES SCIENCE BUILDING.
Instruction in the various branches of natural science is now
given in this building. It contains lecture rooms and laboratories
of ample size, fitted with all the conveniences which experience has
shown to be desirable. Much new apparatus, made to order in the
best workshops of this and foreign countries, has been added to
that previously possessed by the College, and the aim will be to
keep up with the rapid progress in science teaching, by adding from
time to time whatever may be needed.
The building is on the western side of the College campus,
north of the Walker Art Building. Its general plan is a main
building about one hundred and eighty feet long and forty-five feet
wide, with two wings projecting from the western side of each end,
each about sixty feet long and forty-five feet wide. It is three
stories in height besides a high, well-lighted basement. The gen-
eral style of architecture is Elizabethan. The exterior is of Perth
Amboy brick, trimmed with Ohio stone. There is very little
lath and plaster in the building, and in general little wood used in
its construction. This makes it practically fire-proof. It is
heated, lighted, and ventilated in the most perfect manner.
THE OBSERVATORY.
The recently erected Astronomical Observatory, for which the
College is mainly indebted to Mr. John J. Taylor of Fairbury,
44 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
111., is well adapted for purposes of instruction. It is supplied
with a six-inch telescope, and a transit instrument with the usual
accessories for meridian observations.
THE LIBRARY.
The College Library occupies Banister Hall, in the east end of
the Chapel, and the two spacious wings adjacent. It contains
fifty thousand volumes. A rapidly increasing proportion of these
have been purchased to aid instruction by supplying both teachers
and students with the latest books and leading periodicals in the
various departments of the curriculum. Attention is also directed
towards the building up of a complete and attractive library of
general reference, in which the literature of the day is given its
proper place, and which shall serve as an active agent in the
attainment of liberal culture.
A minute classification and arrangement of the books by sub-
jects has been made, and free access to the shelves is granted to all.
Instruction in the use of books and in bibliography is given by the
librarian, who, with his assistants, is always ready to lend per-
sonal aid to inquirers. During term time the library is open ten
hours every day except Sunday. Students are allowed to borrow
three books at a time, and to retain them, if needed, four weeks.
The privileges of the library are extended, as a matter of course,
to all graduates and the clergymen of the vicinage, and also to any
person on recommendation of the Library Committee.
Annual accessions, which have averaged of late two thousand
volumes, are made to the library by an appropriation of the Boards
for the purpose, and from the proceeds of funds contributed by Rev.
Elias Bond, D.D., John L. Sibley, A.M., Hon. Samuel H. Ayer,
Dr. R. W. Wood, Mrs. John C. Dodge, Henry J. Furber, Esq.,
and Capt. John Patten.
The Medical Library of 4,000 volumes is deposited in Adams
Hall, which contains the lecture rooms and offices of the Medical
Department.
WALKER ART BUILDING.
By the will of the Hon. James Bowdoin, the College in 1811
came into possession of his collection made in Europe, of about
one hundred paintings and one hundred and fifty original drawings
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 45
by old and modern masters. To these paintings have since been
added the collection of the late Col. George W. Boyd (Class of
1810) and many other valuable gifts. They are exhibited in the
Walker Art Building.
This building, erected by the Misses Walker of Waltham,
Mass., as a memorial of their uncle, the late Theophilus Wheeler
Walker, was dedicated June 7, 1894. It is designed by Messrs.
McKim, Mead & White, of New York. It is rectangular in
form, one hundred feet in length by seventy-three in width, and is
located on the front of the campus, facing Appleton Hall. The
height from the grade line to the cornice is thirty-three feet. The
central portion of the structure is surmounted by a dome covered
with copper, the top of which is fifty-three feet from the ground.
The materials used are Freeport granite, for the base-course ;
Indiana limestone, for the middle portion of the facade, the ped-
estals, quoins, and architraves, and selected brick of a dark color
for the remainder of the walls.
The main entrance consists of a loggia, in front of which and
supporting the wall above, are six carved Ionic columns of lime-
stone. In the wall over these and upon either side of the central
arch is a circular niche. Niches, also, are located at the ends of
the loggia for statuary. In the rear of the loggia, and occupying
the central portion of the building, is the Sculpture Hall, twenty-
nine by forty-two feet. The floor is composed of brick and stone
laid in pattern. The four tympana under the dome, each twenty-
six feet in width, are to be filled with four paintings, symbolizing
the artistic achievements of Athens, Rome, Florence, and Venice,
executed by Messrs. John LaFarge, Elihu Vedder, Abbott Thayer,
and Kenyon Cox, respectively. Light is admitted through a
sky-light at the top of the dome, forty-seven feet above the floor.
Leading from the Sculpture Hall are the various galleries.
At the left, occupying the entire wing upon that side, and containing
the Boyd paintings and others of later acquisition, the fine and
extensive collection of Japanese and Chinese works of art, loaned
to the College by Professor W. A. Houghton, and the Virginia
Dox collection of rare and valuable objects of native American art,
is the Boyd Gallery, twenty-five by fifty feet. At the right is the
Bowdoin Gallery, which is of the same size, and contains the
46 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
James Bowdoin paintings and drawings, the nucleus of the College
collections. At the rear of the hall is the Sophia Wheeler Walker
Gallery, twenty by forty feet. This room contains choice speci-
mens of ancient glass, Roman sculpture, old Flemish tapestry,
oriental ivory carvings, modern paintings of artists of the foremost
rank, the bronze relief portrait of Theophilus W. Walker, Esq.,
by French, all given by the Misses Walker. All the galleries are
finished throughout in oak. The walls and ceilings are of plaster.
Ample light is received from above through large sky-lights.
In the basement are the lecture hall, the Assyrian sculpture room,
curator's and students' rooms, beside the boiler-room, lavatory,
and coal cellars. The basement is finished in ash.
The building is entirely fire-proof, lighted throughout by elec-
tricity, heated by indirect steam, and provided with a thorough
system of ventilation.

No medical cases will be received on Saturdays, and no
surgical cases on Thursdays.
All examinations in the presence of the class are made without
charge. All surgical operations are gratuitously performed.
TERMS OF ADMISSION AND FEES.
It is desired that a literal interpretation shall be placed upon
the stated requirements of candidates for matriculation, as hitherto
there have been not infrequent examples of those who inquire if
other conditions than those named will not serve in lieu of the
examination. The same consideration is asked for the explicit
conditions named as regulating the prepayment in cash of fees.
Candidates for matriculation will be required to give evidence
that they possess a good English education, including a knowledge
of English Composition, Natural Philosophy, and Mathematics.
Those who are graduates of Colleges, Normal Schools, High
Schools, or have passed the entrance examination to any recog-
nized college, on presentation of their diplomas or matriculation
tickets, will be exempt from examination. Examinations will be
held on Thursday, January 9th, at nine o'clock a.m.
The fees for admission to the several Courses of Lectures
(payable strictly in advance, and by cash only) , are $78 for first
and second courses, and $50 for the third course ; matriculation
fee, payable each term, $5.
Pupils who have attended three full courses of medical lectures,
BOWDOIN COLLEGE 55
two of which have been in this school, are admitted to all subse-
quent courses without payment of any lecture fees.
Students who have attended two full courses at other regular
medical institutions are required to pay $50 for admission to their
first course of lectures at this school, in addition to the matricu-
lation fee.
A fee of five dollars shall be paid for final examination in each
department in which a student presents himself for examination
previously to the payment of his diploma fee.
The payment of five dollars includes the cost of examinations
of first and second years in Anatomy, Physiology, and Chemistry.
If a student fails to pass the examination in a given department
in one year, he may be examined in a subsequent year in the same
branch on payment of a fee of three dollars.
The total amount paid by a student in examination fees at five
dollars each shall be credited on his diploma fee.
The graduation fee (which is not returnable), including the
diploma, is $25.
No student will be allowed to attend any course of lectures in
this school without the certificate of the secretary. Members of
the medical profession are cordially invited to attend the lectures
at any time.
Graduates of other schools, who have been engaged three years
in the regular practice of medicine, may receive a general ticket
upon presentation of their diplomas and payment of the matricula-
tion fee. Students are expected to remain until the close of the
term.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADUATION.
Students and particularly candidates for graduation will be
examined at least twice each week in each department by its
Professor.
The following regulations are provided in the departments of
Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and Obstetrics, these regulations
not applying in whole to those who have previously attended two
or more courses of lectures.
ANATOMY.
At the end of their first year in the school students will be
examined in histology, the anatomy of the skeleton and the viscera.
56 BOWDOIN COLLEGE
At the end of the second year students will be examined in the
remainder of descriptive anatomy and in topographical anatomy.
Two parts must have been satisfactorily dissected and demonstrated
before admission to the second year examination and two full years
of medical study completed. A part of the hours previously occu-
pied with lectures will be devoted to text-book recitations.
PHYSIOLOGY.
At the end of the first year of study every student shall be
examined in Physiology upon the functions of nutrition and repro-
duction, and if he presents a certificate of having completed two
full years of medical study or of having pursued approved courses
in this branch in a reputable college or technical school, he may
also be examined upon the functions of relation.
At the end of the second year of study every student shall be
examined upon the functions of relation unless he shall have passed
the entire examination at the end of the first year.
A portion of the hours in this department also will be devoted
to text -book recitations from Blakiston's edition of Kirkes'
Physiology.
CHEMISTRY.
The chemical course extends through two years. In the first
year lectures and recitations are held three hours in each week. In
the second year the course mainly consists of laboratory work in
analytical and medical Chemistry six hours in each week for one-
half the term.
At the end of the first year each student shall be examined upon
the Chemistry of the first year. If he presents a certificate of
having completed two full years of medical study or of having
pursued approved courses in Chemistry in a reputable college or
technical school, he may also be examined in the Chemistry of the
second year.
At the end of the second year each student shall be examined
on the chemical study of the second year unless he shall have
passed the entire chemical examination the first year.
A student who has pursued approved courses in Chemistry in
a reputable college or technical school may pass an examination on
the Chemistry of the first year at the beginning of the course.
BOWDOIN COLLEGE Of
OBSTETRICS.
Any student may also present himself for final examination in
Obstetrics at the regularly appointed time for examination, provid-
ing he previously presents to the Secretary satisfactory evidence
that, at the close of the current term, he shall have completed at
least two years of actual study and have attended two courses of
lectures, the second of which must have been in this School.
Recitations from a text-book will occupy a portion of the hours
previously devoted to lectures.
Students will receive from the professors in the departments of
Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and Obstetrics certificates of
successful passing of final examinations.
Students failing to pass the examination in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, and Chemistry will be granted a re-examination at the begin-
ning of the succeeding term, but failure upon that occasion will
compel a repetition of the first year's work.
At the beginning of the third year a re-examination also will
be granted those who fail in the examinations of the second year.
If failure again results in any or all of these departments it will
prevent one from entering the graduating class. The successful
passage of an examination will not exempt a student from faithful
attendance upon any exercises in any department during subsequent
courses.
The examination for the degree of Doctor of Medicine are
held at the close of the course of lectures. Degrees will be con-
ferred upon Wednesday morning, June 25th, after the usual grad-
